As John Wick: Chapter 4 brings fans back to the iconic Keanu Reeves back in action, Lionsgate has already greenlit multiple sequels and spin-offs to expand the ‘Wickverse’. While a John Wick 5 has yet to be made official, the Ana de Armas-led spinoff, Ballerina, has just received its theatrical release date!
Well, good news. You won’t have to wait any longer. Lionsgate just set the John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, to hit theaters on June 7 next year!
Ballerina was confirmed to currently be in post-production back in February, with the spinoff being shot in Prague for around five months. Armas had previously revealed that the filming process had been physically taxing: “We’ve been in Prague filming for four months, we still have one more month to go, and I’m in pain. My body, my back, everything hurts. I’m sore, I’m bruised.”

Apart from the Ballerina spinoff focusing on Ana de Armas, aka Rooney, a character who follows the same motive that drove John Wick on a murder spree — revenge. In de Armas’ case on spinoff, Rooney seeks vengeance on the people who killed her family.
Keanu Reeves previously noted that the spinoff’s timeline “takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 and John Wick: Chapter 4” which sparked hope in Reeves potentially making an appearance in the spinoff.
It is worth mentioning that this is not Ana de Armas’ first action film, seeing as she had portrayed prominent roles in Knives Out and Blonde as the titular character, but now, it seems we’ll be seeing her in a different light. Are you excited to see de Armas in the John Wick spinoff?
The John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, is set to arrive in theaters on June 7th, 2024, while the miniseries, The Continental, has yet to get its own final release date.
